Millers Chapel School
There are those who have heard stories from parents
and Grandparents surrounding early school days, preaching, singing,
leteraries and other community functions at Miller Chapel,
about 6 miles east of Winslow, Arkansas.
Some still remember their own early school days at Miller chapel.
Mrs. Dorothy Preston's great-grandfather taught the first school
there in the log building 94 years ago.
(do not know when this is written or what year 94 years ago was.)
Land for the school was purchased
from Mrs. Lilliah Anderson's grandfather. Frank Miller.
One sunday night in 1924 there was a church service in the building
and Hugh Terry was to start a school term there the next morning.
Mr. Terry arrived ready to open school but there was no school house.
It had burned down during the night. In the old photo above standing
in front of Old Miller Chapel are, standing on the porch,
Left to Right -- Frank Miller, Sam Preston, Mary Miller. Lily Preston,
Alta Shackelford; next row down--- John Miller, ? Sebourn;

Matilda Caughman, Mahalie Henson, ? Breashears; Front row--- ?,
